Hello everybody! This thread has been created to update ssc members about the ongoing 4-laning of the Hubli-Dharwad highway.
The tree cutting along the 20 km stretch started in June/July 2011 and actual works started in November 2011.:cheers:
The deadline for completing the project is 2013 end (i.e. 2 years).

I don't think it can have service lanes,no space.

I don't think it can have service lanes,no space.
I had read in a newspaper long ago that it would have service lanes outside city limits...Dont know what happened later.
No service lanes implies it will again be a 2-lane road bcoz we will have motorists coming from the wrong side of the road forgetting that they are not Americans...:lol::lol:

The best part of it is that it is going to be concreted

The nest part of this road is that it is going to be concreted
Concrete roads are good as far as its life is concerned. But concrete roads have never been as smooth and quiet as asphalt roads...

The best part about this road and upcoming roads in Hubli-Dharwad is that ducts will be provided under the roads at frequent distances so that they are not dug up after construction.:cheers:

nice updates:)

Hello friends its news from Government officials that the BRTS between Hubli-Dharwad mostly cancelled because of our dirty politicians who have there land towards the road and they are not ready to loose. So our BJP MLA,s hands are very powerfull in this issue so we(H_D people) have to demand and we should get that project for Future, otherwise we will be always in backward for development... Shame on The DIRTY POLITICIANS.......

^^Hey shivanand which govt officials did you ask?
Regarding politicians, they were dirty, are dirty and will remain dirty forever....and may become dirtier.
But BRTS requires huge space which hardly exists between Hubli and Dharwad. Not only politicians but common people too
will lose their land. Even if the project continues there will be huge delays because of protests for compensation etc. So it was quite obvious that BRTS wouldn't be feasible.

BANGALORE: Karnataka government today gave its green signal to take up second phase of Bangalore metro project at an investment of about Rs 27,000 crore.

Water Resources Minister Basavaraj Bommai told reporters after a cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, that the second phase covering 72 km is planned to be completed by 2017.

The 42-km first phase is slated to be completed by next year-end.

Higher Education Minister V S Acharya said the Cabinet also gave the go-ahead for improving 831 km of 11 roads under the Karnataka State Highway Improvement Project (KSHIP), second stage, first phase, with a USD 351 million loan assistance from the World Bank.

It was also decided to establish a modern agriculture market on a 20-acre plot at Byatarayanapura here. It would have cold storage, grading and marketing facilities. Sobha Developers would be given the contract to develop this project, expected to be ready in two years.

The government would spend Rs 105 crore for this project, while Sobha Developers would also make some investments, Acharya said.

A bus rapid transit system for the twin cities of Hubli-Dharwad also got the Cabinet nod. In this Rs 452 project, there would be two dedicated lanes for state-run buses plying between the two cities.

The Cabinet also finalised the know partner and transaction advisor for the Global Investors' Meet scheduled for June this year, with Ernst & Young winning the contract, Acharya added.

HUBLI: The Hubli-Dharwad four-lane road will be complete by May 2013 and it is a Rs 177 crore project, said district minister Jagadish Shettar.

Speaking to mediapersons here on Monday, Shettar said that the project would take 2 years to finish. There are no objections for land acquisition from property owners. They will give the land for road widening because it's a public work and will help them also, he said.

There are no objections from anyone between Sana College and ISKCON temple, so the work will start from that place. The road will be widened by 30 metres. From Naveen Hotel to Vidyagiri, concrete roads will be made. "For the four-lane road we have to occupy nearly 40 acres of land," he added.

Shettar gave the clarification for the delay of the four-lane project, and said, "We planned to start the BRTS and four-lane project at a time, so it took a 7 to 8 month delay to start the project."

"Hubli-Dharwad Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) project has got approval from the cabinet, and we will send the project file to central government, after getting its permission, it will go for the approval from the World Bank. It may take six months for all this," he said.

The BRTS project will get more funds from the state government and the remaining funds will given by the central government and World Bank. Ten percent amount will be provided by the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation.

Four-lane Hubli-Dharwad road by May 2013

Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister and district-in-charge Jagadish Shettar said that four-laning of the road between Hubli and Dharwad had gathered momentum and the work was likely to be completed by the end of May 2013.

He was addressing a press conference here on Monday after inspecting the ongoing work on the 19.5 km road.

Mr. Shettar said that the Karnataka Road Development Corporation had started work on the road and added that. shifting of the power, water supply lines and telephone cables had begun.

He said that 40 acres of land had been acquired for four-laning the existing two-lane road. “Of the 19.5 km of road, a 13 kilometre stretch between Naveen Hotel in Hubli and Vidyagiri in Dharwad will be concretised while the rest will be asphalted,” the Minister said.

He added that the four-lane road would be 17.5 meters wide and there would be 10 metre wide service roads.

Mr. Shettar said that the work on the concrete road would begin from the centre of the existing road. “Work will begin immediately on the three km stretch between Sana College and the ISKCON temple,” he said. “The work on providing an alternative road for the public has already begun,” he said.

The Minister said there would be no toll for the usage of the four-lane road.

Mr. Shettar said the Cabinet had given its nod for construction of a Bus Rapid Transit System between the twin cities. “The proposal will now be sent to the Union Government for approval,” he said.

Mr. Shettar said that the BRTS project was likely to be implemented in two phases and another 40 to 50 acres of land would have to be acquired for it.

He said it would take another two years for the BRTS project to take off as it had to go through several phases of approval and planning.

Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad Darpan Jain said the process of acquiring 168 acres of land for constructing a bypass road connecting the Bijapur-Gadag road and Pune-Bangalore National Highway had begun.

No, as vspdwd says it is a SH now with no toll booth,It is more or less like a city road with Hubli and Dharwad already merged (twin cities) :)

Any chance of that 'bypass' being widened?
OR will it too die like the CBE Bypass?

There is enough space for bypass to be widened,but widening would be of no use once this SH (old NH 4 aka PB road) gets 4/6 laned that too concerete for 75% length.:cheers: Bypass would then be used only by trucks.

I see.

It will become signal free out side city limts when BRTS is implemented, BRTS plan is having underpasses to be built at the places like Navanagar, Unkal etc.

As per shettar BRTS will take some more time to get approval etc...So till then this SH as a city road with 4/6 lanes would not be a signal free road.

Please get us some pics of the Gokul- Bypass 4 lane link road u/c that is more or less like a Chord road within the Ring road which is shaping up.:cheers:

Manjok have a look at the bypass and PB road, both are almost forming the ring road,now with plans afoot to link gadag road with NH4,will ensure the completionof the lower arc of the ring road,likewise in dharwad the upper half is served by NH4 and PB road themselves Figure B :cheers:

@rsrikanth

Thanks bhai.Hubli-Dharwad has always been an interesting site for me,though people of Hubli-Dharwad complain that they don't have a ring road like that in Mysore or Gulbarga,but I knew Hubli-Dharwad had a ring road way back in 1998 itself when NH Bypass was opened.

If they wish they can run a road parallel to both NH and PB road in between them exclusive for BRTS.But who is gonna fund :P

FUTURE BRTS MAP OF HUBLI??

Instead of running the BRTS along the edge i.e. on PB road they can build an exclusive third link with chord roads and have dedicated bus lanes,that will pave way for planned growth in between the two parallel roads and also ensuring speedy connectivity between the twins.

I wish to link that exclusive bus lane with Gokul road which is wide enough to accommodate BRTS and link Hubli city.

You cannot use NH4 as ring road dude! :lol::lol:

Flyovers in city limits in Hubli and there is a proposal to start BRTS between the two cities,the idea was mooted by Prof Shivanand from CEPT university Ahmedabad who hails from Dharwad.He is the architect of Ahmedabad BRTS.Hope to see him working on a BRTS project in his home city.

Karnataka to replicate Ahmedabad’s bus rapid transport system model


AHMEDABAD: The city is lending a helping hand to Hubli-Dharwad, the second-largest urban spread in Karnataka after Bangalore. The Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (Cept) University has shown the way to the aggregation, which is suffering because of overloaded public transport service, by designing a BRTS for the twin city.

A Rs 450-crore project has been proposed, including Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) between Hubli and Dharwad. Cept University has been roped in as a consultant for the project which covers a stretch of 22.2 km.

"We have suggested lanes for overtaking on the 20-km stretch, which is something we do not have in Ahmedabad. There is heavy road traffic on the stretch as Hubli is a commercial hub and Dharwad an educational centre. It is estimated that around 2 lakh people commute every day on the 20-km stretch between Hubli-Navanagar and Dharwad. An efficient public transport system is urgently needed there," said Shivanand Swamy of Cept, a key member of the team that designed BRTS in Ahmedabad.

The chairman of North Western Karnatak Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC) Mallikarjun Savakar; chairman of Hubli-Dharwad Urban Development Authority Lingaraj Patil; visited Ahmedabad on Wednesday to observe the services of BRTS in Ahmedabad.

Managing director of NWKRTC Hemaraju said, "Ahmedabad has the best BRTS service in the country, and we plan to replicate the same in the twin cities." World Bank has already offered a loan.

This would be the fourth BRTS project for which CEPT has been invited to design. Earlier, it was invited to design for Ahmedabad, Surat and Indore BRTS systems. The next project will be implemented in Vadodara soon.

NWKRTC may shift new Hubli bus-stand (http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-karnataka/article3386374.ece)

The plan is to move it from Gokul Road to Hosur

Improvement ahead?:Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Jagadish Shettar inaugurating the newly formed Dharwad division of the North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation in Dharwad on Friday.
The North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC) is planning to shift the new Hubli bus-stand from Gokul Road to Hosur, according to Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Jagadish Shettar.

Speaking after inaugurating the newly formed NWKRTC Dharwad division here on Friday, Mr. Shettar said if the plan worked out, the new bus-stand would be shifted to the premises of the Hubli depot at Hosur, and the depot to Gokul Road. The Bus Rapid Transport System (BRTS) proposed for Hubli-Dharwad had necessitated this change, which would be convenient for passengers, he added.

Facelift

The Cabinet had given its approval to BRTS, under which bus-stands and terminals would get a facelift. A team of local legislators and others recently visited Ahmedabad to study BRTS, which had been working there for the last three years.

It could be used as a model for Hubli-Dharwad with certain modifications, the Minister said.

Mr. Shettar said efforts were on to convince the Union government to sanction projects under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) for Hubli-Dharwad. As the population of Hubli-Dharwad had reached 10 lakh, the city was eligible for it, he said.

yes it is more like 1.5 +1.5 lanes :nuts:

^^Yes. It has shoulders on both sides from Unkal Cross to SDM.

There is so much space still available and with BRTS plans in place more space is definitely required,along which stretches do they need to acquire land?

There is so much space still available and with BRTS plans in place more space is definitely required,along which stretches do they need to acquire land?

Main traffic zone is Hosur Cross to Sai Nagar Cross....as this area has number of educational institutes and residential areas...

Unakal to APMC......Lot of Traffic because of Trucks going to APMC

Next is Navanagar to Rayapur Industrial area.....Floating population joins here from Satellite township of Navanagar and has many govt offices and industries......

Next is Sattur to Gandhi Nagar / Vidya Giri......Again lots Colleges esp.SDM Medical/Dental Colleges...and JSS Vidyagiri....

Then...Vidya Giri to Jubilee Circle ....again city traffic is high in this Stretch........:)

^^It seems spacious near Navanagar in that pic.
But for 8-laned road huge land needs to be acquired and thats where problems arise.:ohno:

ಚತುಷ್ಪಥ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಅನುಮತಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಗಿಡಗಳು ನಾಶ
ವಿಕ ಸುದ್ದಿಲೋಕ | May 27, 2012, 05.00AM IST

ಧಾರವಾಡ : ಹು-ಧಾ ಅವಳಿ ನಗರದ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಚತುಷ್ಪಥ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಮರಗಳ ತೆರವುಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಕಾರ್ಯಾಚರಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ವ್ಯತ್ಯಾಸಗಳು ಕಂಡು ಬರುತ್ತಿವೆ ಎಂದು ಪರಿಸರವಾದಿ ಅಕ್ಷಯ್ ಹೆಬ್ಳೀಕರ್, ಸಂತೋಷ ನರಗುಂದ ದೂರಿದರು.
ಶನಿವಾರ ಜಂಟಿ ಸುದ್ದಿಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ ಅವರು, ಪರಿಸರ ಇಲಾಖೆಯು 19.4 ಕಿ.ಮೀ. ಉದ್ದ ಹು-ಧಾ ಚತುಷ್ಪಥ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಇರುವ 1200 ಗಿಡಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿಯಲು ಅನುಮತಿ ನೀಡಿತ್ತಾದರೂ ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾರರು 2700ಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಗಿಡ ಕಡಿದಿರುವುದು ದಾಖಲೆಗಳಿಂದ ಕಂಡು ಬಂದಿದೆ ಎಂದರು.
ಈ ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಚೆನ್ನೈದ ಜಿವಿಆರ್ ಇನ್ಫ್ರಾ ಪ್ರಾಜೆಕ್ಟ್ಸ್ ಲಿ.ಗೆ ನೀಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆಯ ಒಟ್ಟು ಮೊತ್ತ 119 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ.ಗಳದ್ದಾಗಿದೆ. ಯೋಜನೆಯಡಿ ಮರ ಕಡಿದ ಬಳಿಕ ಹೊಸದಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾಗುವ ರಸ್ತೆಗುಂಟ 4000 ಸಸಿ ನೆಡಲು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಸ್ತೆ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ನಿಗಮ (ಕೆಆರ್*ಡಿಸಿಎಲ್)ವು ಅರಣ್ಯ ಇಲಾಖೆಗೆ 27 ಲಕ್ಷ ರೂ.ಗಳನ್ನು ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ಪಾವತಿಸಿದೆ ಎಂದರು.
ಕೆಆರ್*ಡಿಸಿಎಲ್*ನವರು 1200 ಮರ ಕಡಿಯಲು ಅನುಮತಿ ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಗುತ್ತಿಗೆದಾರರ ದಾಖಲಾತಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ 2633 ಮರಗಳನ್ನು ಕಡಿಯುವ ಆದೇಶ ಇರುವುದು ಅನೇಕ ಸಂಶಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಹೆಬ್ಳೀಕರ ಮತ್ತು ನರಗುಂದ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದರು.
ಪ್ರತಿ ಮರವು ಕನಿಷ್ಠ 10 ಜನರಿಗಾಗುವಷ್ಟು ಆಮ್ಲಜನಕ ಉತ್ಪಾದಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ಕಡಿದಿರುವ ಮರಗಳನ್ನು ಲೆಕ್ಕ ಹಾಕಿದರೆ 26330 ಜನರಿಗಾಗುವಷ್ಟು ಆಮ್ಲಜನಕದ ಉತ್ಪಾದನೆ ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾದಂತಾಗಿದೆ. ಮರಗಳ ಕಡಿದಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಪರಿಸರ, ಪ್ರಾಣಿ, ಪಕ್ಷಿಗಳ ಮೇಲಾಗುವ ಪರಿಣಾಮವೂ ಆಪಾರವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದವರು ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.
ಈಗ ಕಡಿದ ಗಿಡಗಳು ನೂರಾರು ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದಿನವು. ಇವುಗಳ ಮೌಲ್ಯ ಲೆಕ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹಿಡಿಯದಷ್ಟಿದೆ. ಇಂಥ ಸಂದರ್ಭದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೊಸ ಸಸಿಗಳನ್ನು ನೆಟ್ಟು ಈಗ ಕಡಿದ ಗಿಡಗಳ ಹಂತಕ್ಕೆ ತರಲು ಬೇಕಾದ ಸಮಯವನ್ನು ಸರಕಾರ ಲೆಕ್ಕಕ್ಕೆ ಹಿಡಿಯುತ್ತಲೇ ಎಂದವರು ಅಸಮಾಧಾನ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದರು.
ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ತಮ್ಮ ತಕರಾರಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಹೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಿಸರ ಮೇಲಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಾನಿಯನ್ನು ಗಣನೀಯ ಪ್ರಮಾಣದಲ್ಲಿ ತಗ್ಗಿಸುವ ಯಾವುದೇ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಆಗದಿರುವುದು ಗಂಭೀರ ವಿಷಯವಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದರು.

Traffic Jam on Hubli-Dharwad Road due to cutting of trees for 4-lane project

‘Mission 4,000' to increase green cover in twin cities

Rashtrotthana Sankalp Trust in association with environmentalists and the general public will be planting 4,000 saplings along the proposed four-lane road between Hubli and Dharwad.

President of the trust Santhosh Nargund told presspersons here on Sunday that as part of the road expansion works, the authorities had felled huge trees without considering the damage that had caused to the environment. The trust had launched the initiative to enhance the green cover in the twin cities.

Mr. Santhosh said that the trust would be launching the initiative under the name ‘Mission 4,000'. “Various civil society organisations, environmentalists have already pledged their support to this cause.

The trust is also creating awareness on this grave environmental issue among the citizens through sessions in schools, colleges and on internet”, he said.

The trust would celebrate World Environment Day on June 5 and would launch ‘Greener Hubli-Dharwad Campaign'.

Mr. Nargund said that while the Ministry of Environment and Forestry had permitted felling of 1,200 trees to make way for the proposed four-lane road, the Divisional Forest Officer had given sanction for chopping down 1,700 trees. “Going a step further, the contractor entrusted with the work has chopped down 2,633 trees”, he said.

Mr. Santhosh said that the trust wanted to make up for the loss of such a large number of trees.

KRDCL should implement 4 lane with paved shoulders like NHAI.
The quality of work is good, but...

Mysore Highway is example with just 2 lanes each side with muddy shoulders.
This leads to accidents while overtaking & also 2 wheelers/ large slow moving vehicles block traffic flow/speed.

It is really dangerous the way Taxis overtake on Mysore road, besides absence of bypass for major towns.
